Consultative Group

The New South Wales Aboriginal Education Consultative Group feels that more emphasis needs to be placed on the training of teachers in regards to Aboriginal education.Many first year teachers are sent to country areas with a relatively high percentage of Aboriginal students. In the main, these teachers have had little or no contact with Aboriginal children or parents.

Aboriginal Children

It is uncertain when the last exclusion of children from a public school, merely for having some Aboriginal ancestry, actually occurred. In 1937, the Commonwealth and States’ conference on Aboriginal matters recommended assimilation as a general policy rather than protection, particularly with regard to the detribalized, part-caste Aboriginal people. In 1938, the New South Wales Public Service Board in its report on the Aborigines Protection Board, recommended the policy of assimilation be implemented in schools. In 1940, the Aborigines Protection Act was amended. The Aborigines Protection Board was renamed the Aborigines Welfare Board and restructured to include Aboriginal members. The complete responsibility for the education of all Aboriginal children was transferred to the New South Wales Department of Education. Almost overnight, the policy of segregation was changed to assimilation.

Objective: To compare the caries prevalence between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children two to five years of age. Methods: A sample of young Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children from remote New South Wales Australia was recruited. Children with parental consent participated in dental examinations which were undertaken by one calibrated examiner who recorded the decayed, missing and filled teeth/surfaces. Results: 268 children were examined. The decayed missing and filled teeth scores were significantly higher for Aboriginal children (p =<0.01). Most Aboriginal Children examined had decayed teeth (n= 55, 52.4%) unlike non-Aboriginal participants (n = 27, 16.6%). Conclusion: Aboriginal children in remote areas of New South Wales have a significantly higher prevalence of dental caries when compared with their non-Aboriginal peers.
